USC faces $1.2 million deficit
By RIVIAN TAYLOR Associate Editor
President Hubbard singled out the acute fiscal problems of the university and gave a detailed explanation for what he views as an inevitable tuition increase in his student convocation yesterday at noon in Bovard Auditorium.
In any event, no matter what additional sources of income the university will be able to tap. Hubbard is convinced there will be some tuition increase because the university has a $1.2 million deficit for the current year. “We simply must find $1.2 million ... or it will be an absolute disaster for us," he said.
A proposed tuition increase of $370 has been recommended to the Board of Trustees and is pending an interpretation of President Nixon s Phase 2 plans for the wage-price freeze.
However, Hubbard told the
convocation he feit it was unlikely that the Nixon Pay Board would allow a tuition increase of more than 5%. Such a ruling would limit a tuition increase to $107.50.
Hubbard stressed the importance of the university not operating on a deficit budget because its endowment of $37 million is low compared to other universities with which it competes (notably those who are members of the Association of American Universities). “We don't have any margin for error. any reserves" with an endowment of that size, he said.
To face the fiscal problems, Hubbard said the university is practicing internal economies to make teaching more cost effective. “We re trying to do what we do better with greater economy/’ he said.
Hubbard also noted that the Board of Trustees has made a commitment to provide extra
sources of income.
Yet. the tuition increase seems to loom as the number one way of dealing with the financial straits the university finds itself in. “I want it (a tuition increase) as a last resource, but I also want a university here that you can attend."
“I must be perfectly honest with you. Even with the best luck in the world, I can't see how we can avoid some tuition increase."
Hubbard also addressed himself to the question of university governance — “how do we actually develop policy?" He reported that a committee on governance recommended a super-committee structure composed of five deans, five faculty and five students, but he has asked them to take another look at the situation to see if they could come up with a different solution.
(The President's Advisory Council, consisting of three
deans council officers, three University Senate officers and three ASSC officers, is operating in the interim until a permanent governance apparatus is selected.)
Hubbard raised questions over the supercommittee proposal on the grounds that it had inherent elements of devisiveness and the group might result in three competing elements.
In answer to a student question. Hubbard said he would ac-
cept the superstructure governance proposal if that were the final recommendation of the committee. “Yes. I will accept it. I would be derelict if I didn't see if there weren't any other way.
“Once we say we will agree on a plan, I don't see any problem in implementing it. If I do nothing else this year, I would like to say we can work together.”

Court case against Delts Withdrawn
A case brought to the ASSC Student Court by a group of students against the Delta Tau Delta fraternity was withdrawn before the court met last night at 8.
Scott Minium, speaking for the married students, said that they withdrew the case because administrators and heads of university judicials had all told them that the Student Court had no jurisdiction in the matter and that, even if a decision were made, the administration would probably not enforce it.
He said that the complaint, which accuses members of the fraternity of assault and battery, will be brought today to Robert Mannes, dean of student life, and be submitted to Inter-Fraternity Council Judicial.
In other action, the court voted 3-1 to say that it can give decisions and/or advisory opinions on any grievance, in response to a query by Michael Trope, president of the Student Senate, on whether the court can ask for retractions of statements by ad-
Law prof appointed as counsel for prices board
By BARBARA WEGHER
David Slauson, professor of law at the Law Center has been appointed to President Nixon's Price Commission.
Slauson will serve as the head lawyer for the general council in working with and advising the commission.
He was informed that he was chosen for the position. Monday at noon, by E. Jackson Grayson. chairman of the commission.
The commission's purpose, Slauson said, was to "work with the President to control prices. Also, it is supposed to create a
system of ways to enforce the wage and price freeze."
“An appellate procedure where people will be able to go to appeal their cases if they wish to raise prices will be established. This must be done so that there is a procedure to follow through before the people take their cases to the courts.” he added.
Slauson was aware that he was under consideration for the position. Last week he traveled to Washington. D C., where he spoke to and was questioned by members already on the commission.

ASSC to name convention head
By PETER WONG Staff Writer
The appointment of a chairman for the ASSC constitutional convention will be considered by the ASSC Executive Council at 5 p.m today in Student Union 311.
ASSC President Kent Clemence will nominate the chairman, who must be approved by a majority vote of the council. In addition to presiding over the convention. the chairman will appoint all convention committees and their chairmen, subject to convention approval.
In other business concerning the convention, the 22 voting council members and the senior class president are expected to complete their selection of 46 delegates for the convention
The convention is expected to convene for the first time before Nov. 18, the deadline specified by convention procedures adopted by the council
Two proposed ASSC bylaws will also be examined today. The first will formally establish the Independent Students Office under the ASSC. and the second will create the office of judicial advocate. Under this bylaw, three advocates will bring cases to the Student Court and aid contending parties in court.
The bylaw on advocates was presented at last week's council meeting by John Moore, graduate representative, but it was sent back to a committee for rewriting after controversy arose over what authority the advocates were to be under.
Clemence said that the bylaw was being rewritten so that neither the council nor the court would have power to control the advocates, thereby making them an independent agency.
The council is also scheduled to hear a report by Carl Middleton, ASSC treasurer, on the proposed $370 tuition increase for next year and the university’s projected financial situation. Middleton was the only student member of the university's ad hoc Tuition and Fees Committee when the proposal was made.
Council members are expected to designate their choices for proxy-vote holders today. These students will substitute for voting members of the council who may be absent.
Presently, only six council
members — the presidents of the Associated Men Students, Associated Women Students, Men's Halls Association, Women's Halls Association, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council — have vice-presidents who can legally substitute for them.
The matter of voting by proxy has been debated by the council several times, but until the resolution by Jim Lacy, sophomore representative, passed Oct. 28. the council had no policy on the subject.
Mark Spitzer, former ASSC independent representative, will be nominated for the directorship of the University Affairs Council by Lee Blackman, vice-president for academic affairs.
A member of the board. William Coleman, who is also a friend of Slauson's. recommended him for the job.
Slauson. along with Dorothy Nelson, dean of the law school, stated that an article which Slauson wrote in the Harvard Law Review, entitled "Price Controls for a Peacetime Economy,” may have had some effect on the commission's decision.
After a series of discussions with Grayson over matters of salary and length of employment, the final decision was arrived at early this week.
Slauson will definitely be working with the commission approximately one year. He will live in Washington. D.C.
Slauson said that regarding President Nixon's wage and price control he “thought it was a good thing. "
“It is a very difficult thing to work well. There are billions of prices in the economy and to handle the situation without making a mess of it isn't easy," he said.
As for the present economic policies which have somewhat lowered the unemployment rate, according to the Nixon administration. Slauson said that he was unsure if the present trend toward more employment would continue.
Slauson previously worked on the Warren Commission. Following his work there, he served in the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department.
This commission helped to draft legislation for President Johnson.
Slauson has since taught antitrust law through corporations and administrative law at the law center. It is uncertain as to who will finish teaching his classes this semester because Slauson is leaving this weekend to begin work in his new position.
Slauson has been active in the Law Center regarding the question of whether students should participate in faculty meetings.
